A few months ago I made a cushion from a piece of vintage Star Wars bed sheet. Having never made a cushion cover before, I was pleased with the end result and liked how quickly it came together. Plus, C3PO, Darth Vader and the Death Star now grace our living room – who wouldn’t be happy with that?

Using the Force…for lumbar support.

Since then, I’ve been writing down all kinds of ideas for fun cushion covers and have managed to whip up a few like these bad boys:

Quilted front, zipper back

All you need is Love

Personally, I like a really over stuffed cushion so I use a big insert but because I’ve used a layer of cotton batting and backing fabric for the cushion fronts, a smaller insert would work and still give the cushion good shape. Plus, the covered zipper makes the back look as good as the front – bonus!

I’ve got a long list of ideas for these and I’m thinking I’ll take custom orders on my Etsy shop. What do you think? What would you put on a cushion?
